Gacrux is a rare term that refers to a particular star in the southern hemisphere. Synonyms for this word are limited since it is a unique and specific entity. However, some people may use the term "Gamma Crucis" as an alternative. This name identifies the star as part of the Crucis constellation, referring to one of its most significant stars. Other synonyms could be "Southern Cross star" or "brightest star of the Southern Cross." These substitutes help identify and differentiate the star from others in the night sky. They may also be useful for people who are not familiar with the more technical term "Gacrux".
